Units of work
In
English, the students will be following a writing process to create a
narrative. Students will continue daily
reading workshops to develop their ability to read fluently and comprehend
familiar texts. Orally, students will complete
a homework activity to present an explanation of a mixture in connection with
our Science Unit. In Maths, students will continue to develop their
computational thinking skills and number sense.
Through a range of inquiry-based activities students will identify and
explain strategies to solve problems that allow them to demonstrate
mathematical reasoning. In Religion, the
children will investigate the concept of
forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They will explore how they can nurture their
relationship with God. In Science,
students will explore two units of work.
Unit 1 – ‘All Mixed Up’ allows students to explore chemical change through
mixtures. They will produce their own
mixture and design and create a package and commercial to advertise their
mixture. Unit 2 – ‘Whizzy –Wonderful water’ offers students
with the opportunity to develop and understand and appreciation for our
precious natural resource – water. Through hands-on investigations, students
will explore how water is used, where water comes from, and how to use it
responsibility to teach them sustainable practices for caring for God’s
creation.
Birthdays
If
your child would like to share a birthday treat with the class please send
either small cupcakes, pieces of slice or biscuits for each class member rather than one big cake as we do not
keep knives in the classroom. We all
currently have 30 children in the class.
Homework
The homework will be given out on a Monday and needs to be returned
on the following Monday.
It is an important part of the continuation of
learning between school and home. This
term the children will need to prepare a simple oral presentation as part of
our Science Unit. A letter has been
glued into your child’s homework book to explain the task. Your child’s presentation date is highlighted
at the bottom of the sheet.
Munch and
Crunch
We will continue this term to have Munch and
Crunch. This will be a healthy snack of
a piece of fruit, vegetable or salad at around 9:40 each morning. The idea is to refuel the students’ brains as
often there is a long break between breakfast and lunch.
Thank you for your continued support and if you do
have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
